I can put
that down to experience coming back from Karlsruhe. Nice, a valuable experience
but very excausting as well. The exibithiion hall was fantastic. High windows
and so much daylight that artificial light wasn’t necessary. It was fun to see
all of my work displayed together. At home I keep it in large rolls and a few of
them are hanging on my walls, but now it was hangin all its glory.

Met nice
people, made contacts, met friends and of course taught some workshops. Speaking
German was sometimes a bitakward.
Especially when you are used to talk 5 quarters in an hour and than all of a
sudden have to stop because you don’t know one of the words in your sentence.
Had nice groups!

No better
preparationt then a quiet one. I had a short vacation. With my love and without
the children, so very relaxed. As if I have nothing left to do. We visited a
lovely part of the Netherlands, the nature reserves De Wieden and De
Weerribben. Areas of really outstanding beauty with pretty little villages and
a huge amount of birds. Enjoying.

Back home now and continuing enjoying the
article in the next magazine I am in, the Dutch magazine Quilt&Zo.

The next few
days a lot of things to do, decide which quilts I will show, sawing the last strips/slats (don’t know how it’s called
in English), make info tickets for my quilts, pack a lot of things and travel
to Karlsruhe on Thursday.
